¹There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , and turned away from evil.

¹ Waato boro fo go no Uz laabo ra kaŋ maa ga ti Ayuba. Bora din binde toonante no, adilitaraykoy no, a ga humburu Irikoy ka banda bare ilaalo gaa mo.

²There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

² A gonda ize alboro iyye da wayboro hinza.

³His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

³ Alman do haray mo a gonda feeji zambar iyye, da yo zambar hinza, da haw zambar fo, da farka nya zangu gu, da almayaali boobo gumo, hala mo zaati bora din bisa wayna funay izey kulu beeray.

⁴His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

⁴ A ize arey mo ga gana ka batu te ngey afo-fo kulu kwaara, afo kulu nda nga zaaro. I ga donton mo ka ngey wayme hinza ce ngey mo ma kaa ka ŋwa ka haŋ ngey banda.

⁵It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.

⁵ Waati kaŋ i bato jirbey windi ka kaa ka to binde, Ayuba ga samba i m'i hanandi. A ga tun za susubay da hinay ka sargay kaŋ ga ton yaŋ te i afo kulu se. Zama Ayuba ne: «Hambara ay izey na zunubi te ka Irikoy wow ngey biney ra.» Ayuba doona ka woodin te, a mana fappe.

⁶Now it happened on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. that Satan also came among them.

⁶ Han fo Irikoy izey, _malaykayaŋ* no|_ kaa zama ngey ma bangay Rabbi jine. Saytan* mo kaa i banda.

⁷Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

⁷ Kala Rabbi ne Saytan se: «Man gaa no ni fun?» Saytan tu Rabbi se ka ne: «Ay fun bar-bareyaŋ ndunnya ra, d'a ra koy-da-ye mo.»

⁸Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

⁸ Kala Rabbi ne Saytan se: «D'a-ta day, ni ga faham d'ay tamo din Ayuba? A himandi kulu si no ndunnya ra. Toonante no, adilitaraykoy no, kaŋ ga humburu Irikoy ka banda bare ilaalo gaa mo.»

⁹Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?

⁹ Saytan binde tu Rabbi se ka ne: «E day! Yaamo no kaŋ Ayuba ga humburu Irikoy, wala?

¹⁰Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

¹⁰ Manti ni n'a kali nda sinkita, nga nda nga windo kulu, hala nda hay kulu kaŋ go a se kuray kulu? Ni n'a kambe goyey mo albarkandi, a almaney mo tonton laabo ra.

¹¹But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”

¹¹ Sohõ day kala ni ma ni kambe salle ka hay fo kulu kaŋ ga ti a wane ham, ni ga di a ga ni wow ni jine!»

¹²Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t put forth your hand.” So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh.

¹² Rabbi ne Saytan se: «Guna, hay kulu kaŋ go a se, i go ni kambe ra. Amma nga bumbo wo, ma si kambe dake a boŋ.» Saytan binde fatta ka fun Rabbi jine.

¹³It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

¹³ Han fo binde Ayuba ize alborey da wayborey kulu goono ga ŋwa ka duvan* haŋ ngey beere beero kwaara,

¹⁴that there came a messenger to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

¹⁴ kala diya fo kaa Ayuba do ka ne: «Hawey goono ga far, farkayey mo goono ga kuru i jarga,

¹⁵and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁵ kala Sabeyancey kaa ka kaŋ i boŋ k'i di ka kond'ey. Oho, hala i na goy-izey wi nda takuba, ay hinne mo no ka du ka yana ka kaa ka ci ni se sohõ.»

¹⁶While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁶ A go sanno ra yaadin kal afo mo kaa ka ne: «Irikoy danjo fun beene ka kaŋ feejey boŋ k'i ŋwa. A na goy-izey mo ŋwa ka ban. Ay hinne mo no ka du ka yana ka kaa ka ci ni se sohõ.»

¹⁷While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁷ Woodin mo go sanno ra, kal afo mo kaa ka ne: «Kaldancey te sata kanandi hinza ka zurandi ka kaa ka yoy di ka kond'ey. Oho, hal i na goy-izey mo wi nda takuba. Ay hinne mo no ka du ka yana ka kaa ka ci ni se sohõ.»

¹⁸While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

¹⁸ Woodin go sanno ra, kal afo mo kaa. Nga mo ne: «Ni ize alborey da wayborey goono ga ŋwa ka duvan haŋ ngey beere beero windo ra.

¹⁹and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁹ Kala alma haw beeri fo fun taasi beero boŋ haray ka kaa ka fuwo lokoto taaca kulu kar. Fuwo binde kaŋ ni izey boŋ hal i bu. Ay hinne mo no ka du ka yana ka kaa ka ci ni se.»

²⁰Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.

²⁰ Ayuba binde tun ka nga kwaayo tooru-tooru. A na nga boŋo mo cabu ka ye ganda ka sududu.

²¹He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.”

²¹ A ne: «Koonu no ay fun ay nyaŋo gunda ra, koonu mo no ay ga dira. Rabbi no ka no, Rabbi no ka ta, i ma Rabbi maa sifa!»

²²In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

²² Woodin kulu ra Ayuba mana zunubi te, a mana harta mo ka Irikoy wow.
